GFA unveils new GPL production partner with clubs to receive GHC1 million each.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced a partnership with Adesa Production Limited (APL) for the production of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League (GPL) season.

As part of the agreement, each GPL club will receive GHS1 million in funding before the season kicks off — a move aimed at strengthening club operations and enhancing league competitiveness.

“Through this unique partnership with Adesa Productions, each of our GPL clubs will, before the start of the league season, receive one million Ghana cedis each,” President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku said.

“This will be facilitated through the new partnership. This will be our minimum payment for each of our GPL clubs under our new model.”

“This is a binding agreement between the Football Association, Adesa Productions, and the government, rather than a grant,” he emphasized.

In addition to the initial support, clubs will receive performance-based incentives tied to their final standings in the league table.

The GFA reports that this initiative is intended to cultivate healthy competition and inspire teams to aim higher.

The program is forecast to bolster the financial standing of clubs, lessening their reliance on player sales and stemming the talent drain that has long plagued the domestic league.

The GFA hopes to secure further sponsorship and interest from local and international stakeholders through this investment.

The agreement facilitates the live broadcast of three matches every weekend, enabling fans to access top-tier domestic football regularly.

Moreover, all 18 league matches each round will be re-packaged into highlight shows, ensuring that supporters never miss the key moments of each fixture.

This development follows a series of commercial partnerships secured by the GFA, including deals with LeLe Tasty Foods Ghana Limited and Kasapreko Company Limited — all part of a broader strategy to revitalise Ghanaian football.

The 2025/26 Ghana Premier League will kick off on the weekend of September 12.
